- In the [Dimensional Room] -
After breakfast, Theo began to train his movement technique. While he realized it was indeed fast, Theo thought it was slow at the same time.
['Rya, is there anything that will help me learn my movement technique faster?'] Theo asked telepathically.
Rya appeared in front of him in a holographic existence and said while floating, ["Yes, there are many, in fact, but what I think would be better is a new update to the [Dimensional Room]. Unlocking this improves understanding of all techniques that are used while they are within it. In addition, it is something permanent, which made me believe that of the valid options, this is the best for my Master."]
['That sounds interesting to me.'] Theo asked, ['How much will this update cost?']
["The cost of this update is 1 billion points in the system. Although I understand that it sounds like a lot, I dare say that in the long run, it will seem very cheap."] Rya said her most sincere opinion.
['I believe you,'] Theo smiled and said telepathically, ['Okay, you can do this; I want to apply this new update.']
["Okay, Master. Update will start in 3 seconds. Wait, please."]
_ _
[Warning: 1,000,000,000 System Points has been spent.]
[A new update to the [Dimensional Room] is being implemented - <<Enlightenment>>]
_ _
After Rya spoke, a holographic warning screen appeared and the [Dimensional Room] didn't look like it was undergoing any changes, but the air they breathed seemed to be getting different, even the smell seemed softer and purer.
'I wonder if I don't warn them, will they notice that something is different?' Although it didn't seem that anything had changed, Theo wanted to see if by the end of the day Yuki and the rest would notice something different in the [Dimensional Room].
['Would it be possible to even enter state of enlightenment just by practicing in the [Dimensional Room] from now on?'] Theo asked doubtfully.
["Exactly. The chances of entering a state of enlightenment only increase when training in the [Dimensional Room] from now on. Besides, it doesn't have a definition of time, it all depends on what the cultivators are trying to understand."] Rya whirled in the air while explaining in her soft, childlike voice.
'Okay, I can now improve my techniques. I'm close to reaching the Monarch Spiritual Realm, but I still have my techniques all in their initial state. I want to at least increase them a bit before going up in realm,' Theo said in his mind when preparing to use his movement technique.
The technique he chose to improve was one that he had had since the beginning, quite possibly one of the ones that he trained the most and of which even broke the initial limit - since before it was limited to six stages, but he managed to reach 8 stages.
"<Lightning Shadow Steps>!"
With a zigzag movement, Theo ran very fast, always leaving 7 after images. For an hour's time, he continued to run.
_ _
[New limit for technique <Lightning Shadow Steps> has been broken. Skill became <Lightning Shadow Steps> Ninth Stage.]
_ _
Theo caught a glimpse of the screen and continued to run. Now he noticed that he had 8 after images left behind when he ran.

On many planets close to Spirit Planet they were talking about the same subject...
- Snow Planet, first place among planets in the interplanetary rank -
A man with pale white skin and wearing gray clothes had an indifferent expression. Being on the 4th Layer of the Monarch Spiritual Realm, he was the most powerful cultivator on the Snow Planet. He spoke suddenly in a cold voice, "Did you hear what is happening on Planet Spirit?"
"Yes, it looks like a talented 17-year-old is very close to reaching the Monarch Spiritual Realm. Furthermore, most surprisingly, he managed to kill the most powerful cultivator on Planet Spirit who was in the Monarch Spiritual Realm. This is totally alarming. If it continues like this, it could ruin our plans," said a woman dressed in white with skin so pale that it was almost confused with the white clothes she wore. When she spoke, her red eyes emitted a coldness that could freeze the hearts of those who looked directly at her.
- Green Star Planet, second in the interplanetary rank -
"This 17-year-old cultivator needs to be stopped!" Powerful green flames spread from the body of the woman who shouted those words.
All the most powerful cultivators on the Green Star Planet agreed with her. It was feasible that they could not produce someone so abnormal like that, especially with the interplanetary battle about to happen.
- Dark Planet -
"We need to stop this boy!"
- Planet Three Moon -
"If this continues, we will not have a chance in the interplanetary battle that will take place in five years."
- Planet Two Suns -
"We need to kill him!"
- Animal Planet -
"He's a fox. It would be best to try to bring him to our side!"
- Golden Planet -
"It doesn't matter if he is a golden fox; he is a danger to us. He needs to be killed!"
- Planet Water -
"Kill, we need to kill him!"
- Volcanic Planet -
"Let's burn him to ashes!"
- Demonic Planet -
"Kekeke. This boy would be a good blood doll. We will capture him while he has not yet fully grown."
- Planet Sword -
"Let's cut him into pieces!"
- Martial Planet -
"Putting our pride at stake, he needs to die!"
- Planet Earth -
"Kill him!"
- Winged Planet -
"Let's turn that fox into food for our children!"
- Planet Thunder -
"Such a talented young man has to die!"
- Disaster Planet -
"Hahaha! I will not allow something so abnormal to exist!"
On all seventeen planets that would participate in the tournament, they started to discuss and plan to do something when they received news from their spies about Theo's abnormality. A 17-year-old cultivator who totally defied logic and managed to kill someone in the Monarch Spiritual Realm was unheard of, especially since he was only in the 11th Layer of the Spiritual Realm.
Of course, they could not act so blatantly. That would be against the rules, and they could be disqualified if they were discovered. So all these different planet cultivators started planning on how to kill Theo without drawing too much attention. These different planet cultivators already knew that Theo was currently participating in a tournament and would have many witnesses, which would not be easy for them to act, however, they would wait for the tournament to end and then take action.

In the [Dimensional Room], Shina and the rest were impressed by Theo's performance when running, but soon started to focus on their own training, however, as they trained, they noticed that it was easier to understand the techniques being used.
Theo stopped using his technique and thought, 'I think it's fine for today. I'm going to train another technique.'
With his illusions, Theo created an illusory doll with the defensive power of a cultivator on the 12th Layer of the Spiritual Realm.
*<Golden Fox Claws>!*
Theo's left hand turned into sharp claws and a golden aura surrounded his hand.
*Whoosh!*
Theo's claw cut the doll in pieces with a single attack.
'Maybe I should try to do something more resistant...' Theo realized that this way would not give much results. It would be better if he managed to find something as sturdy as a Monarch Spiritual Realm cultivator.
When Theo concentrated and started trying to create something more resilient, he realized how difficult it was, but he also realized that it was not impossible, although he would spend more time and spiritual mana because of it.
